"If you write for a living," says Jefferson D. Bates in

Writing with Precision, "this book is probably not for you."

But if what you do for a living involves writing, then this book

can help you do so "clearly, concisely, and PRECISELY." Bates is

fond of italics, boldface, CAPS, exclamations!, quirky footnotes,

and the word crotchet. He's over 80. He's been editorial

director of the U.S. Air Force's Effective Writing Program and a

chief speechwriter for NASA. The cornerstone of his campaign is the

elimination of bureaucratese and jargon. Writing with

Precision, originally published in 1978, is divided into four

parts: writing (mainly letters, memos, instructions, regulations,

and reports), editing (mostly copyediting), usage, and exercises.

There is a definite personality behind this readable,

conversational book. It's mostly updated, though a little checking

by Bates could have prevented the reference to some books as being

"probably out of print now."
